The U-Space Reallabor North-West Germany and German Bight. The challenges and solutions for the use of drones in industrial, academic and civil areas require an orderly and coordinated use of the corresponding airspace. To make this possible, a new geozone is being created within existing airspace on the basis of the EU 2021/664 implementing regulation and embedded in the existing airspace structure: The so-called "U-Space" as a flight area for unmanned aerial systems. This also includes the provision of the corresponding services for use.
The EU DVO 2021/664ff has entered into force and is currently in the legislative process. The BMDV has already published a concept for the establishment of U-Spaces in Germany (DEZ 2022). To drive forward the development of real U-Spaces.
There are various approaches for the delimitation of U-space: A first approach pursues the strict delimitation of U-space within the airspace with regard to its maximum height and geographical extent. This makes sense as an initial utilization approach, but will not meet the expected drone flight requirements in the long term. Alternatively, there is an integrated approach for which this strict spatial demarcation is not a mandatory requirement. Only this integrated approach offers a complete scope of development for potential drone flight traffic.
The aim of a transnational project "U-Space North-West Germany and German Bight" is the successive development of airspace structures within which the operation of UAS is considerably simplified and automated and safety is increased, taking into account all relevant airspace users. If you have any questions about the project, please contact our U-Space Provider Mr. Markus Rossol.
We are working on various projects related to the future of unmanned aviation. Discover our current projects in the “U-Space” section.
A successive expansion of the flight areas will enable the "U-Space Reallabor Nord-Westdeutschland und Deutsche Bucht" to facilitate the integrative air traffic of manned and unmanned aviation. Starting from the drone testing center Hatten-UAS, located at the Oldenburg-Hatten EDWH airfield, a first route has been developed over the Jade Bay to the North Sea. Our Senior Aerotechnical Consultant Maximillian Strauß is at your disposal for comprehensive information on approvals and operating licenses for your UAS (VLOS / BVLOS)
The U-Space Reallabor North-West Germany and German Bight will be expanded in several stages to become fully operational. The expansion will be based on the specific needs of the individual participants and stakeholders. Here is an initial overview of the development of this transnational project:
2023: Compilation and integration of all relevant airspace participants
2023-2024: BVLOS areas Hatten - German Bight incl. trial operation (red)
2024-2025: BVLOS areas Cuxhaven & Helgoland incl. connection to phase 1 incl. trial operation (blue and green)
2025-2027: Expansion and connection of further airfields such as East Frisian Islands, Leck and Nordholz incl. trial operation (yellow) "From separation to integration" Development of fully functional "real" U-Spaces in the German Bight and northern Germany
Vision 2030 Further development in the respective built-up U-Space(s) towards a seamless connection to the "U4" of the SESAR ATM master plan from 2035 onwards
The U-Space Reallabor North-West Germany and German Bight project is receiving multi-layered support from these stakeholders, among others:

According to German Air Traffic Control (DFS), certain rules apply regarding the transponder requirement and identification requirement in airspace. Both requirements are intended to make airspace safer by helping to prevent collisions. Transponder Requirement and Identification Requirement An aviation transponder is an electronic device that communicates via radio frequency interrogation. It...
VLOS, EVLOS, and BVLOS are essential for flight operations. This is because, in addition to standard regulations—such as certification and training—drone operators must also adhere to these operational modes. VLOS (Visual Line of Sight) In VLOS (Visual Line of Sight) mode, the remote pilot must maintain uninterrupted and direct visual contact...
On February 23, 2022, the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) organized an online workshop to introduce iConspicuity. During the workshop, the iConspicuity Roadmap—that is, the future integrated approach to manned and unmanned air traffic—was also defined. What exactly is iConspicuity? iConspicuity stands for “increased conspicuity,” which, in German...
The association for unmanned aerial systems, UAV DACH e.V., met at the AERO 2022 in Friedrichshafen. After the general meeting, we went to the Dornier Museum for a barbecue evening. There was time to exchange new ideas on unmanned aviation in a great atmosphere. b.r.m. was represented by Mr. Harald Rossol, Maximilian Strauß and Markus Rossol. Here we have...
With its associations and companies such as AVIASPACE BREMEN e.V., the state of Bremen ranks among the world leaders in the aerospace sector. This is ensured, among other things, by leading industrial companies and their suppliers. AVIASPACE BREMEN e.V. – an aviation cluster AVIASPACE BREMEN e.V. is a network and representative for manufacturers of aerospace components. It...
It's easy to lose track of the different types of drones. Here are the three main categories.
For drone enthusiasts, the annual AERO in Friedrichshafen is the place to go.
Drones U-Space Service Provider b.r.m. March 20th marks the beginning of spring in the meteorological sense. Birds, bees and other insects will soon begin to roam our skies, but not only them. Drones or UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) have already become a part of our airspace, and not just as a hobby for RC enthusiasts, but...
